I recently was diagnosed with lupus, after chasing down symptoms for almost 2 years. Fatigue, skin rash, joint pain, and headache are what I'm going through. This disease prevents me from daily activities and going out. It actually stresses me out that causes more severe symptoms. Does have anyone with lupus can share me some tips to ease the symptoms as well as control flare-ups. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sorry to hear your symptoms. I also have lupus, so I can understand how your feeling is, it seems to be terrible and hopeless. As each lupus patient has different symptoms, the treatment and methods to deal with this disease also vary. Do you often see your doctor? Your doctor can know clearly your symptoms and tell what you should do.

some people on this forum gave me many excellent tips and my health gradually gets better. I try to reduce stress, think positively, eat healthy meal, and take dietary supplements to relieve the symptoms of lupus and prevent lupus flares. You must understand what triggers your condition and avoid them. This may help you control the disease

yes, I'm still on my treatment course with some types of lupus medications. These helps relieve my lupus symptoms, but not much. I still feel unwell with this disease.

Stress and fatigue are my biggest trigger, but they seem to go in a cycle. Stress triggers the lupus symptoms which make me more fatigue

Have you ever found out ways to keep your triggers at bay. Commonly, stress,UV rays, smoking, and poor diet may make your disease worse and trigger flare ups. If you keep them at bay, lupus can be controlled. Making your lifestyle changes is important to deal with lupus, including:
- reduce stress
- apply sunscreen even though you stay at home
- avoid proceesed, packaged and fast foods
- avoid sun exposure, smoking and too much alcohol
- eat more omega 3s foods, vegetables and fruits
- take rest and have enough sleep
- choose mild exercise, such as aqua therapy or low- impact yoga
- take extra vitamin, like vitamin D3 and B12 or supplements, such as Lupufree or omega3 fish oil
Hope you get better soon

You're doing the right things. Make sure when you take dietary supplements there are certified. I read that some of them are fake. There are discrepancies between the label and ingredients...
If you take too much medications try periodically to detox your body.
